How to improve as a writer:

Pen down your ideas. Since ideas come at any place and at any time, be sure to carry around a notebook to write your writing ideas in them.

Designate a proper place for writing. Your writing place should comprise of a chair and a desk. Never try to write while in a sleeping position. The desk you use should be uncluttered.

It is always noticed that great writers are also avid readers. So make it a habit to read information related to your subject. Also read books and articles that have no relevance to your field. This does not get you stuck in one position.

After completing an article, make sure to read it out aloud. This allows you to hear your article and rectify the mistakes that could have been overlooked if not read.

Make sure to use the function of 'spellcheck' that is inbuilt with the writing program you use. This program checks the spelling of common words that could have been overlooked.

Always exercise. Exercising the body will exercise the mind. You will discover that your articles are more interesting than before.

Take breaks. If you are in the middle of an article and you are frustrated or mentally blocked, make sure to divert yourself from article writing by doing things you like. Without a mental break you will face difficulties and get bogged down.

Listen to music. Music has the power to rejuvenate you. A tired mind will reflect in your writings. Make sure to listen to music to give the mind some rest. People who listen to music feel more motivated and confident.

While writing an article, make sure to always ask the fundamental questions about 'Who', 'When', 'Where' and 'How' to gather enough information regarding your report.

Some companies or clients tell you to stick to the word limit. So be precise in this department. Always make sure you are very close to the word limit.

These were the best possible ways to remain fresh as well as to improve your skills as a freelance writer.
